Comments:

League position: 4th This was the third game in the Premier League that Arsenal had won after having had a player sent-off while they were losing; also versus Derby County on 11 May 1997 and Bolton Wanderers on 29 March 2008. The Gunners had now only kept one clean sheet in their last ten games against newly-promoted teams in the Premier League. At 18 years and 17 days, Bukayo Saka became the third-youngest player to start a game in the Premier League for the Gunners after Cesc Fábregas (17 years and 104 days) and Theo Walcott (17 years and 212 days).

Comments:

League position: 18th Aston Villa had now conceded 702 goals in their 465 away games in the Premier League (scored 516). Villa had now failed to win any of their last five away games in the Premier League when they scored the opening goal (lost four). They remained without a win in their last 21 away games in the Premier League (lost 18).
